Pakistan chief selector Moin Khan has been sent home for visiting a casino in Christchurch just two days before the national team’s 150-run loss to the West Indies on February 21.

Despite insisting that he did nothing wrong, Khan was told to return home by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Shaharyar Khan.

“He’s been recalled immediately so that he can explain his position himself, and by which time we will also have a full picture,” the PCB chairman said. “When I told Moin there are lots of allegations against you, and even members of the Upper House discussed it in Parliament today, he told me that all the accusations are wrong.

“He was also disappointed to go to the casino, but he told me he went there to have dinner, and didn’t do anything else.”

It has also been confirmed that team manager Naveed Akram Cheema will take over as chief selector.
